Sailing on a canal isn't sounding real reliable: - Forward and Back are the only two directions, and the wind can come from ANY direction, right? You got Trade Winds over there?!

Sure hope you pick up some work soon. Good luck there.

That is close to a GREAT price. :beer:

No kidding, that is some good looking work. Was that hole-saw carbide, did it cut through pretty easy?

Apparently they were the size of your thumb. Something like horsefly larvae, I guess. Yum! :mrgreen:

I got a whole brain CRAMP there!! I was not picking up the the housing was aluminum, which a close look confirms (that, or pot-metal). So my pea-brain thinks "primer with aluminum in it" instead of "primer for aluminum", which is why I never heard of it and asked if it's for ferrous (that...

Great vid, Robo McDuff! Are those canal boats working boats, or are they recreational? Both?

:mrgreen:

All that running around and that rig must be working up a sweat!

I got a winch that stopped working, the same way, driving me nuts. Maybe it was some magic word you said: - Can you remember saying anything special that might have worked the magic?!

Even when you're talented and CAN invent a thing that will solve a problem, it can be sweet to discover it's available (ready-made) right off the shelf. :jumpin::beer:

It can get discouraging, can't it? Hang tough. I read something good the other day: - Somebody complaining to their Imam/ Rabbi/ Minister/ Priest about how they were SO discouraged, and asked what they should do about it... - Imam/ Rabbi/ Minister/ Priest says "Go, and Encourage others" It...
